5.1 PTR: New Alliance Scenarios - Lion's Landing, A Little Patience

The latest PTR patch opened up new scenarios for the Alliance and the Horde. Today we'll take a look at the two Alliance ones--"A Little Patience" and "Lion's Landing." In these scenarios, you help the Alliance defeat the Horde, in spite of being at a disadvantage, by using teamwork and organization.

Lion's Landing

In Lion's Landing, the Alliance find their base under attack by the Horde. Players work with SI:7 and other Alliance NPCs from Jade Forest questlines to defeat them.

SummaryStage 1 \u2013 The Flight MasterJoin up with Daggin Windbeard. He's right by the starting point, an Alliance tower with slaughter gryphons.

Stage 2 \u2013 Death on the DocksFight your way through the docks to Admiral Taylor. She's in the middle of the docks, after you fight your way down the hill.

In Templanza, the Horde have set up defenses at the Temple of Chi-Ji in Krasarang Wilds. Varian and Tyrande are planning an attack--Tyrande wants to charge right in, while Varian senses a Horde trap and builds additional defenses. There's a lot of interesting dialogue, which we've included in the Summary tab.

SummaryStage 1: Prepare the DefensesPlayers help aid construction of two sites. as Varian continues to Tyrande that this is the best way to prepare for battle. Each scenario, players will get two out of possible five sites: Night Elf, Pandaren, Gnome, Dwarf, Jinyu. Each site has a progression bar, and it's considered complete when it reaches 1000 resources.

Tyrande Whisperwind: We have them cornered inside the temple! We should strike now!King Varian Wrynn: Things are rarely what they seem, Tyrande. And my son tells me this is a sacred place.Tyrande Whisperwind: All the more reason to purify it.King Varian Wrynn says: They're defending a fixed position. I'm not going to play their game. We'll draw them out.Tyrande Whisperwind: You are wasting precious time.King Varian Wrynn says: You three are my eyes and ears. Fan out! Prepare a defense!Chi-Ji says: A trial of patience. Will the wolf behave as a warrior...or a King?

Final Stage \u2013 Kill Commander Scargash

Defeat Commander Scargash and reclaim the Temple of the Red Crane. As players head south to battle the Horde commander, they'll notice along the way that the Horde were trying to launch a surprise attack on the Alliance camps, but were foiled by the defenses Varian had set up. With the Horde's forces lured out and defeated outside of the holy temple grounds, drawing the commander outside is easy as well.

The Commander is a pretty straightforward fight, and after he is killed, order is restored to the Temple. Chi-Ji returns, and Varian and Tyrande discuss his successful battle tactics.

King Varian Wrynn says: The day is ours! And not a drop of blood was shed on holy ground.Tyrande Whisperwind says: I would have charged right in. Many more lives would have been lost in my rush for victory.King Varian Wrynn says: THere was a time where I would have done the same. But I've learned a lot over the years. I've fallen for too many of Garrosh's tricks.King Varian Wrynn says: From now on, we define the terms of the engagement.King Varian Wrynn says: Tyrande, I may not be a politician. But I am a fighter. I know we can win this war.King Varian Wrynn says: We just need to stand together. You have to trust me. Know that I will do the right thing. If we act as one, we cannot fail.

Picture 26 (second to last) totally needs to be a mount, if it isn't already. Looks stunning.

Tyrande wants to just charge into battle?\r\rThat doesn't seem like her.

After reading the summary and achievement section, I can't help but notice, when did admiral Taylor became a she?

Sounds cool. I'm all for Alliance actually winning something, even if its just scenarios.

This really doesn't seem to fit her nature at all.

Tyrande's list of idiocy\r\r\rKilling a paladin for a reason that basically means "I felt like it" (She outright says this). R.I.P. Duke Lionheart (WC3 Nelf Campaign part 1)\rIgnoring that the humans were also fighting the undead (WC3 Nelf campaign part 2)\rRepeatedly killing alliance and horde forces for no better reason than "I want that stuff". Godamn, she gives Gul'dan a run for his money in terms of greed.\rFreeing illidan by killing an army of fellow night elves. (Nef campaign part 5)\rDeclaring to Jaina and Thrall (Both more powerful than she is) that YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! and needing to be reined in by furion (WC3 Nelf campaign 6.5 interlude)\r\rYeah.

Will the wolf behave as a warrior...or a King?" seems pretty interestin'... Varian is showin' more of his kingly colors than his usual hot-temper when it comes to the whole horde topic.

Tyrande wants to just charge into battle?

That doesn't seem like her.I think it sounds just like her. Remember when she charged off to free Illidan despite Malfurion's warnings? Or attacked the human and orcs in the beginning of the night elf campaign in WC3 simply for being outsiders?

Tyrande doesn't do "patience."

Why does this seem downright illogical...Shouldn't it be the other way around?Varian has been calm and collected ever since Wolfheart. He went through the ritual worgen go through in the Gilneas starting zone, the one where you drink from the waters of balance and purity and that third one I forgot.

She seemed to have all the patience in the world not even organising a proper defense of Ashenvale in Cata.
